My dog has scratched himself raw. No signs of fleas anywhere. Any ideas? I can’t get him to the vet till next week.

All it takes is one flea to cause misery if your pet is allergic to their saliva. I hope you’ve found relief for him.
Hello,
It could be allergies or infection (amongst a host of other possibilities). If your dog is not on a flea preventative I still recommend you use one. Please use a safe one (lots of otc’s are not). Also you can ask your vet about trying Benadryl or an anti itch bath. In lots of cases a prescription medication is needed to stop the itch and treat the secondary skin infections.
